Re: Add structure to vector

Uli,

Thanks for your input. I must admit that at my current level, I really
don't understand why the structure's destructor is called 3 times. I must
admit that I don't understand that behavior.

Alternatively, when I create the structure dynamically, the destructor is
called only a single time as a direct result of delete being called.


I really think that the changes are minimal, the only change to add the
dynamically created structure would be the inclusion of 'new':

vStructs.push_back(new myStruc());

And when I am done using the container, I would have to delete the
structures to reclaim memory:

// delete all pointers to structures
vector <myStruc*>::iterator it; // hyperlink expression iterator
for (it = vStructs.begin();
     it != vStructs.end();
     it++)
{
  // deleting a pointer from the container multiple times is a safe
  // operation when the pointer has been set to zero
  delete *it;
  *it = 0;
}

// the output would now be what I would expect:
Constructor Called
Destructor Called

Thanks
